Handling

static-sensitive

devices

Attention:

Static

electricity

can

damage

electronic

devices

and

your

system.

To

avoid

damage,

keep

static-sensitive

devices

in

their

static-protective

packages

until

you

are

ready

to

install

them.

To

reduce

the

possibility

of

electrostatic

discharge,

observe

the

following

precautions:

v

Limit

your

movement.

Movement

can

cause

static

electricity

to

build

up

around

you.

v

Handle

the

device

carefully,

holding

it

by

its

edges

or

its

frame.

v

Do

not

touch

solder

joints,

pins,

or

exposed

printed

circuitry.

v

Do

not

leave

the

device

where

others

can

handle

and

damage

it.

v

While

the

device

is

still

in

its

static-protective

package,

touch

it

to

any

unpainted

metal

surface

of

the

BladeCenter

chassis

or

any

unpainted

metal

surface

on

any

other

grounded

rack

component

for

at

least

2

seconds.

(This

drains

static

electricity

from

the

package

and

from

your

body.)

v

Remove

the

device

from

its

package

and

install

it

directly

into

your

BladeCenter

unit

without

setting

it

down.

If

it

is

necessary

to

set

down

the

device,

put

it

back

into

its

static-protective

package.

Do

not

place

the

device

on

your

BladeCenter

chassis

or

on

a

metal

surface.

v

Take

additional

care

when

handling

devices

during

cold

weather.

Heating

reduces

indoor

humidity

and

increases

static

electricity.

Chapter

4.

Configuring

the

GbE

switch

module

The

GbE

switch

module

supports

two

remote-access

modes

for

management

through

Ethernet

connections.

The

GbE

switch

module

has

an

internal

Ethernet

path

to

the

management

module

and

the

four

external

Ethernet

ports

on

the

GbE

switch

module.

You

can

select

the

mode

that

is

best

suited

for

your

BladeCenter

environment.

v

The

default

mode

uses

the

internal

path

to

the

management

module

only.

In

this

mode,

the

remote-access

link

to

the

management

console

must

be

attached

to

the

10/100

Mbps

Ethernet

connector

on

the

management

module.

The

IP

addresses

and

SNMP

parameters

of

the

GbE

switch

modules

can

be

automatically

assigned

by

the

IBM

Director

BladeCenter

Deployment

wizard

(when

available)

or

you

must

manually

assign

them

through

the

BladeCenter

Management

and

Configuration

Program.

This

mode

enables

the

system

administrator

to

provide

a

secure

LAN

for

management

of

the

BladeCenter

subsystems

separately

from

the

data

network.

See

“Establishing

a

TCP/IP

session

for

the

GbE

switch

through

the

management

module”

on

page

24

for

additional

information.

Important:

In

this

mode,

the

GbE

switch

module

does

not

respond

to

remote-management

commands

through

the

four

external

Ethernet

ports

on

the

GbE

switch

module.

See

the

applicable

BladeCenter

Installation

and

User’s

Guide

on

the

IBM

BladeCenter

Documentation

CD

for

additional

instructions

for

configuring

the

GbE

switch

module

for

this

mode

of

operation.

v

The

system

administrator

can

choose

to

enable

remote

management

of

the

GbE

switch

module

through

the

four

external

ports

on

the

GbE

switch

module,

instead

of

or

in

addition

to

access

through

the

management

module.

This

mode

can

be

enabled

only

through

the

management

module

configuration

interface.

When

this

mode

is

enabled,

the

external

Ethernet

ports

will

support

both

management

traffic

and

BladeCenter

application

data

traffic.

See

“Enabling

the

external

ports”

on

page

26

for

additional

information.

This

mode

enables

the

GbE

switch

module

IP

addresses

to

be

on

a

different

IP

subnet

than

the

management

modules.

This

is

useful

when

the

GbE

switch

modules

are

to

be

managed

and

controlled

as

part

of

the

overall

network

infrastructure,

while

secure

management

of

other

BladeCenter

subsystems

is

maintained

through

the

management

module.

However,

management-module

access

to

the

Gigabit

switch-module

link

will

be

lost

if

the

GbE

switch

module

IP

address

is

not

on

the

same

IP

subnet

as

the

management

module.

See

“Establishing

a

TCP/IP

session

for

the

switch

through

the

external

switch-module

connectors”

on

page

29

for

additional

information.

The

Alteon

OS

20.1

Application

Guide

on

the

IBM

BladeCenter

Documentation

CD

contains

additional

instructions

for

configuring

the

GbE

switch

module

for

this

mode

of

operation.

Important:

1.

Before

you

configure

your

GbE

switch

module,

be

sure

that

the

management

modules

in

your

BladeCenter

unit

are

properly

configured.

See

the

applicable

BladeCenter

Installation

and

User’s

Guide

publications

on

the

IBM

BladeCenter

Documentation

CD

for

more

information.

2.

The

default

IP

address

of

the

GbE

switch

module

is

192.168.70.127,

192.168.70.128,

192.168.70.129,

or

192.168.70.130,

depending

on

the

switch

module

bay

where

it

is

installed.

3.

If

you

change

the

IP

address

of

the

GbE

switch

module

and

restart

the

BladeCenter

unit,

the

GbE

switch

module

will

maintain

this

new

IP

address

as

its

default

value.

4.

The

management

module

and

the

GbE

switch

module

can

communicate

with

each

other

only

if

they

are

on

the

same

IP

subnet.

5.

When

you

use

the

management

module

Web

interface

to

update

the

GbE

switch

module

configuration,

the

management

module

firmware

saves

the

new

configuration

in

its

internal

non-volatile

random-access

memory

(NVRAM).

If

the

switch

module

restarts,

the

management

module

applies

the

saved

configuration

to

the

switch

module.

If,

for

some

reason,

the

switch

module

restarts

and

the

management

module

cannot

apply

the

saved

configuration

to

the

switch

module,

the

switch

module

defaults

to

using

the

configuration

that

it

had

previously

saved.

If

the

subnet

IP

address

of

the

switch

module

does

not

match

the

subnet

IP

address

of

the

management

module,

you

might

not

be

able

to

manage

the

switch

module

any

more.

6.

For

switch

communication

with

a

remote

management

station,

such

as

the

IBM

Director

server,

through

the

management

module

external

Ethernet

port,

the

switch

module

internal

network

interface

and

the

management

module

supports

a

management

interface

that

you

can

use

to

set

up

and

control

the

GbE

switch

module

over

the

network

using

the

Telnet

protocol.

You

can

use

this

facility

to

perform

many

basic

network

management

functions.

module

must

be

on

the

same

network.

If

you

need

to

obtain

the

IP

address

for

your

Obtaining

the

latest

level

of

switch

software

To

determine

the

latest

level

of

the

Alteon

OS

switch

software

that

is

available

from

IBM,

complete

the

following

steps:

1.

Go

to

http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/;

then,

click

Support

&

downloads.

2.

Type

the

switch

model

number.

A

window

opens,

displaying

the

latest

level

of

available

software.

3.

Compare

the

level

of

software

that

you

noted

in

the

I/O

Module

Firmware

VPD

section

of

the

Firmware

VPD

window

to

the

latest

level

of

available

software.

If

the

two

software

levels

do

not

match,

download

the

latest

level

from

the

World

Wide

Web

to

your

switch

module.

The

GbE

switch

module

contains

two

software

operating-system

images.

Therefore,

you

can

always

return

to

a

previous

image

if

the

current

download

process

fails.

Upgrading

the

switch

software

The

switch

software

is

upgraded

through

a

TFTP

server

application.

Typically,

this

software

runs

as

an

application

under

your

operating

system.

Make

sure

that

this

software

is

installed

on

your

server;

then,

download

the

software

images

from

the

IBM

Web

site

into

a

directory

on

your

TFTP

server.

Enable

the

TFTP

server

and

set

its

default

directory

to

the

one

where

the

image

is.

To

transfer

the

software

image

files

from

the

TFTP

server

to

the

switch,

you

must

establish

a

Telnet

session

through

the

management

module.

The

Telnet

session

will

work

correctly

only

if

all

three

network

entities

(TFTP

server,

management

module,

and

switch

IP

addresses)

are

on

the

same

subnet.

Use

the

management

module

graphical

user

interface

(GUI)

to

configure

the

IP

addresses

of

the

management

module

external

interface

(eth0)

and

the

GbE

switch

module

so

that

they

both

are

on

the

same

subnet

as

the

TFTP

server.

or

just

want

more

information

about

IBM

products,

you

will

find

a

wide

variety

yourself:

v

Check

all

cables

to

make

sure

that

they

are

connected.

v

Check

the

power

switches

to

make

sure

that

the

system

is

turned

on.

v

Use

the

troubleshooting

information

in

your

system

documentation,

and

use

the

diagnostic

tools

that

come

provided

by

IBM

in

this

Statement

of

Limited

Warranty

apply

programs,

whether

pre-loaded

or

shipped

with

the

Machine,

or

installed

subsequently;

v

failure

resulting

from

misuse

(including

but

not

limited

to

use

of

any

Machine

or

alteration

of

identification

labels

on

the

Machine

or

its

parts.

IBM

does

not

warrant

uninterrupted

or

error-free

operation

of

contact

IBM

or

your

reseller

to

obtain

warranty

service.

If

you

do

not

register

required

to

present

proof

of

purchase

as

evidence

of

your

entitlement

to

service.

What

IBM

Will

Do

to

Correct

Problems

When

you

call

for

service,

you

must

follow

the

problem

determination

and

resolution

procedures

that

IBM

specifies.

A

technician

will

attempt

to

make

an

initial

diagnosis

of

your

problem

and

help

you

resolve

it

over

the

telephone.

The

type

of

warranty

service

applicable

to

your

Machine

is

specified

in

Part

3

-

Warranty

Information.

You

are

responsible

for

downloading

and

installing

designated

Machine

Code

(microcode,

basic

input/output

system

code

(called

“BIOS”),

utility

programs,

device

drivers,

and

diagnostics

delivered

with

an

IBM

Machine)

and

other

software

updates

from

an

IBM

Internet

Web

site

or

from

other

electronic

media,

and

following

the

instructions

that

IBM

provides.

If

your

problem

can

be

resolved

with

a

Customer

Replaceable

Unit

(“CRU”)

(e.g.,

keyboard,

mouse,

speaker,

memory,

hard

disk

drive

and

other

easily

replaceable

parts),

IBM

will

ship

these

parts

to

you

for

replacement

by

you.

If

the

Machine

does

not

function

as

warranted

during

the

warranty

period

and

your

problem

cannot

be

resolved

over

the

telephone,

through

your

application

of

Machine

Code

or

software

updates,

or

with

a

CRU,

IBM

or

your

reseller,

if

approved

by

IBM

to

provide

warranty

service,

will

either,

at

its

discretion,

1)

repair

it

to

make

it

function

as

warranted,

or

2)

replace

it

with

one

that

is

at

least

functionally

equivalent.

If

IBM

is

unable

to

do

either,

you

may

return

the

Machine

to

your

place

of

purchase

and

your

money

will

be

refunded.
